A client in Houston recently approached us with a challenge: she had a blah corner in her living room that needed a little love. Love in the form of a mobile. She wanted something that would fill the corner, ceiling to floor, without getting in the way.

We took those tight constraints and ran with it, using the SemiSwing design (see June 10, 2008) for inspiration. We tweaked the original design by shortening the rods, making the components more compact, and limiting the mobile’s range of motion. And instead of multiple colors, we gave it a brushed metal finish.

Here’s the final version. We can’t wait to see how lovely it looks in her corner (instead of ours)!
